Exhaustion and migraines - perimenopause?

[YukoandHiro]

I'm 40 and have always suffered with migraines but my usual one a month has now spread to a few a month with some lasting two full days or more. I've noticed the bad ones are around ovulation and just before my period.
Also: exhaustion! I really notice it around ovulation time. I fell asleep both directions on my way to and from work on the train today. I'm already in bed and also feel a bit queasy/off again.
Is this all likely to be perimenopause?

Bump?

It might be. I was over the menopause before I'd even heard of peri but my monthly migraines got better after (I now get about 3-4 a year instead of every month)
Have you tried posting on the menopause board? There's a couple of really informative posters over there.
Good luck!

I was prescribed Frovatriptan to take on the first day of my period when peri. I was already on a daily preventative but needed these to see me through. These migraines absolutely floored me whereas previously a combination of meds kept me functional.
Now I am through it, I am off the preventative and I am migraine free for the first time in 40 years!

You sounds just like me OP and I also assume peri menopause. I know I’m better when I have less sugar and alcohol but it is creme egg season and somethings aren’t possible!

I definitely had migraines and exhaustion during peri. My periods have either stopped or almost stopped now and they've gone finally - was definitely the hormones as I never get migraines otherwise
